Your urine culture shows a Klebsiella infection that your lab has flagged as resistant to nearly every antibiotic tested, with a carbapenemase-producer label and only one or two options still sensitive. A pattern this resistant is unusual, which is likely why your doctor wants the test repeated, to confirm it before choosing treatment, especially with pregnancy limiting antibiotic choices further.
Next Steps
Please do the repeat urine culture as advised. See your obstetrician together with a physician or infectious disease specialist soon, so the right, pregnancy-safe antibiotic can be chosen based on confirmed results.
Health Tips
Go in sooner if you develop fever, back or flank pain, or feel generally unwell, since a resistant infection left untreated in pregnancy needs prompt attention.
